To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, JEFFREY T. FERREs, a citizen of the United States, residingatAnderson, Madison county, Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Board', 4of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in the production of a board as a new article of manufacture and the object thereof is to produce a manufactured board of a novel and useful character, and adapted for the same purposes that the Well known corrugated paper board is used, as for instance for boxes, cartons and the like. However, my board is useful for many other and diverse purposes, and consequentlyl contemplate using my invention wherever applicable.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a cross section of my new board taken on the line l-l of Fig.- 2; Fig. 2 a plan view thereof with portionsl thereof broken away to Vexpose the parts within the facing paper, and Fig. 3 a sectional view of a portion. of the board taken at right angles to the section illustrated in Eig. 1.

Referring to the present embodiment of my invention as illustrated in the drawing, the same comprise a corrugated strip A of paper which is arranged between two parallel paper facing strips B C, to the latter one of which the corrugated paper-isfsecured in suitable manner, as by pasting at the points or lines where the corrugtions contact the same. Between the corrugated paper and the facing strip B is interposed a sheet of wire gauze or netting D of suitable mesh and secured in suitable manner, as by pasting, to the inner side of the facing strip or sheet B and by preference also to the corrugated paper A. There is thus formed a board possessing great strength and rigidity and of coinparative lightness in weight. Moreover, a board is produced which is proof against rats, mice and the like, so that this board may be advantageously ernployed in the manufacture of packaging boxes and cartons containing articles that would be attacked by such vermin.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a board comprising two facing strips, a corrugated strip therebetween, and a wire gauze or nettingA arranged between the corrugated strip and one of the facing strips; substantially as described.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a board comprising twofacing strips, a corrugated strip therebetween, and a Wire.gauze or netting arranged between the corrugated strip and one of the facing strips,' said gauze being secured to the inner sidebf such facing strip; substantially as described.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a board comprising two facing strips, a corrugated strip therebetween, and a wire gauze or netting arranged between the corrugated strip and one of the facing strips, said gauze being secured both to the inner side of such facing strip and to the corrugated strip; substantially as described.
